What killed me? (fatal damage log)

I haven't been playing long and it seems like a true combat log is against the dev's religion. Can we at least get a log that shows what type of damage killed us? Basically all I know is the syndicate shows up and I'm dead or maybe I stood too still for 0.5 sec too long fighting elder and I'm dead, or I'm just walking in Wraeclast and I'm dead.

Right now my options are to just get more gear and kill faster or build more random defenses. If I had a "fatal damage" note I could learn how to better play the game and make more robust builds.

Most likely chaos damage is your problem. What's your chaos res at? You need at least 60. It That Fled and Tora can really hit hard with chaos as well as the fort canons I believe are chaos and probably alot of the projectiles.

you do not need chaos resistance at all.. i have done the game with -100 chaos res with no problems (unique lowered it more)

when you die, do you still have es, if yes then it is chaos damage killing you.
If you die in 0.5s - do you have 6000+ life ? if no , work on getting your gear with + life or better Energy shield values.

Do you have more then 170% life or energy shield from the tree?
if no, remove some damage and get more life.

Do you use multiple skills to attack?
if yes , then focus on one skill with other being support/auto casted.

Aside from that , download path of building tool and fix your damage.
Some interactions are more complex and some don't work the way you think it would . This is especially relevant when following a build and you do not understand how the damage is actually scaled.

whats the point of a log?

6000 chaos damage from It that fled

i only see 20% conversion from physical.
not running immortal call?
aside 6000 is the minimum id recommend for people who can't dodge nearly everything.

For supposedly being a game about "getting gud," PoE is remarkably opaque on helping players figure out what and where they need to improve.

...Which really just makes it "copy the meta like a slave or else get punished" rather than "git gud."

A simple on-death message informing the player of the last 3 sources of damage they took would actually help here. I mean, given the above rule, a lot of other players are just used to "not being told anything," because they've just resigned to shutting their brains off to play this game. But if PoE wants to get better... It needs to find a way to shift from that.

Man... This is super easy. Poe can and will kill you whenever it wants to. Thats how poe has always been historically.

Offsetting that is pretty much the name of the game. leech, hp, mana, dodge, etc....

And guess what... Your still going to get one shotted in the right circumstances.

And here is wishing you would just die like the rest of us without the bitching and complaining...

And yes I bitch too... My last bitch was running into Abaxoth on a deep delve. Instant death. im sure you can tell im over it right?
